Subject: Re: [RDG] Philosophical Foundations of the Law of Equity
Thank you, Professor Smith.

I believe that this of great benefit to this Group.

This will also be of great benefit to my book which I have been writing for a period exceeding five years on the Law of Equity.

The Law of Equity is, of course, of profound morality, and is a subject of the Law which I hope will be expanded, and not curtailed, in the interests of our democracies.

My best to you.

What is the connection to restitution? Well, we all know that Lord Mansfield said that the action for money had and received was based on equity..
